REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Probably the most important new dance work to be created in Britain since the millennium.’ Luke Jennings, The Observer

‘The work is choreographed with such verve that its effect is almost ecstatic…it is an arrestingly powerful piece.’ Judith Mackrell, The Guardian

‘Instantly you’re hooked… atmospheric, exciting stuff.’ Mark Monahan, Daily Telegraph

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Uprising An exciting work for seven dancers who wash the stage with a wild drive of hope. Accompanied by a pounding soundtrack, it touches audiences with an assault on the senses. (25 mins approx, 7 on stage.)

In Your Rooms Shechter’s most accomplished work to date has thrilled audiences with its anger and anguish, love and loneliness, pain and protest, fear and frustration. (40 mins approx, 11 on stage.)

The above productions are available in a double bill. (65 approx, plus interval, 14 on the road.)

Cult An explosive piece of dance that combines virtuoso physicality with aesthetic finesse. This stylistic work presents a dark, ironic view of the powers that steer our society and our self. (15 mins, 6 on stage.)

Fragments Explores the life of a couple. An elegant work, it flows between delicate and intense moments, slowly revealing emotional turmoil and the connections that bind the lovers. (15 mins approx, 2 on stage.)

The above two productions are available in a triple bill with Uprising entitled DeGENERATION. (65 mins approx, plus interval, 9 on the road.)
